A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

Love it. My favorite episodes were the dream one where Cloudbase got destroyed and the fashion show one.
ReplyDeleteI've got a boxed DVD set of every episode, Phil. Had it for years, still haven't watched it.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of watching Joe 90 when I was about 5 or 6 but I didn't see any Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet till they were shown on BBC 2 in the '90s. I know this is heresy but I find those Gerry Anderson puppet shows to be rather slow and tedious to be honest. By the way, Kid, I've just started reading 'The Shepherd's Crown' which is the final Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett - it includes these little pixie-like characters called the Nac Mac Feegles and one of their catchphrases is "Crivens !" :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen it in colour. They were ALL Captain Greys when I used to watch it!
ReplyDeleteWas never keen on Joe 90, to be honest, CJ, and you're right - watching some of those programmes as an adult (when on TV), I thought they were a bit slow as well.

It wasn't on TV when you were a kid, JP. In fact, TVs hadn't been invented in 1866, old yin. (Hee hee!)
I well remember, when televisions bad just been invented, my Mother trying to explain to me what one was. "It'll be like the wireless," she said, "but with pictures on it. And you'll have to be very quiet when it's on!"
DeleteAnd the day it came, "Muffin the Mule" was on!
Ah, Muffin the Mule. And I have 17 other offences to be taken into consideration.
